The Churches' Fellowship for Psychical and Spiritual Studies exists to promote the study of psychical and religious experience within a Christian context. Founded in 1953 by a group of clergy and laymen on an ecumenical basis, it continues to serve the churches and its individual members who come from many and varied backgrounds. Some have sought help from the Fellowship's extensive knowledge, at significant points in life where there may have been spontaneous gifts of the Spirit, the pain of bereavement or simply a vocation to a spiritual life through a psychic encounter. Many bring a wisdom and depth of vision to enrich the understanding of others.

The Fellowship takes a positive view of psychic sensitivity which many people experience quite naturally in their lives, perhaps through an unsought telepathic communication. Some seem to have a greater awareness of this dimension than others and in some it is more refined. There is a gentle call on members to relate this to a fuller Christian life in which the psychic may find consecration. Without this approach there may be a tendency to extol the psychic dimension for its apparent allurement alone which can lead to an emptiness of purpose or even openness to the darker aspects of the paranormal. The psychic is the means by which there is real accord, soul to soul. It is what is given and received on this level that needs a discernment which comes from the Holy Spirit. This brings life where once there was dullness of body, mind and spirit. Jesus himself showed the ease of the psychic in his relationships with others and with the Father as recorded in John 2 where it is said that he "had no need of evidence from others about anyone, for he himself could tell what was in people".

The Fellowship as its name implies provides fellowship and opportunities to study through its residential and one-day conferences, its group and branch meetings and for those who are unable to attend such events, the pages of its two journals the 'Christian Parapsychologist' and the 'Quarterly Review'.
